Has Lost Its Charms.
New York World

For twelve years after the war the Re-
publican managers frightened the voters
out of making nuch-needed change in
the administration. They worked alter
nately, and sometimes together, the
"rebel scare" anfthe "business scare.''
The voters were told that if the Demo-
crs's obtained power the "rebel debt"
would be paid, the negroes re-enslayed
and the "fruits of the wal" lost. This
bugsboo worked so well that one
glseful po,k-mapipulator proclaimed,
sixteen years after the close Of the war,
that "there is one more president in the
bloody shirt" Blind to these lessons,
the Republicans have already brought out
the "tarif scare" as their bugabOo for
next year. They think the people are
such fools as to suppose the country will
De ruined by reduction OF needlessswer
taxes. They have nearly year in which
to find ont their mistake, but 1t will not
take them half that time. The day OF
bugaboos Is past.

BUILDING ASSOCIATIONS.
Georgia Court Holds that Only Lawful In.
terest Can Be Collected of Borrowers.

terest Can Be Collected of Borrowers.
Atlanta Special.
The case of the Atlanta Home building and
Loan Association against F. NJ. Van Pelt. after
occupying the time of the Superior Court for
four days. was ended to-day in a way which
very greatly astonshed at least one side in the
litigation. The jury. in figuring out verdict,
held that building and loan associations. as run
in Atlanta, were usurers and in passing upon
the case at issue gave the association moth
ing more than the principal of the loan and the
lawful rate of interest namely, per cent That
idea of the rights of the associations if given
the shape and effect of law, would paralyze
them.
The history of the Van Pelt case may be
stated as follows: In 1883 Mr.. Van Pelt took
fifteen shares of the Home Association stock
A few months later he borrowed on that stock
paying $50 so for the money: that is to say. the
association took up his stock and advanced
81 1872 taking security a deed to Mr.. Van
Pets lot on the Boulevard ard, Also his bond
in the sum of So, 900 for the payment of $50 per
month to the close of the associations career.
Mr.. Van Pelt paid his dues. aud fines and inter-
est to the amount of something over $500, and
then being unable to meet the payments, al
lowed them to lapse For three months he made
payments to the association and on the de-
ferred payments was charged up with interest
of per cent. month. That was done under
the rules of the association, but Mr.. Van Pelt
made great objection to the rate of interest.
In the fall of 1885 the association took steps
to foreclose and secure the balance, which Mr.
Var Pelt had failed to pay. The case was on
trial four days before Judge Marshall J. Clarke
and jury A great interest was taken in the
trial by persons connected with building and
loan associations, as the plaintiff made the point
that the association had charged usury. The
association claimed 81. 447 in addition to the pay
ment already made, while Mr.. Van Pelt wanted
to pay on the original sum borrowed. together
with the legal rate of interest, less the pay
ments previously made. There were other
points made, of course. but they were not of
special interest.
The jury, after being out short tlme
turned verdict which was everything Mr..
Van Pelt could have asked Instead of giving
the association the 81, 447 claimed. the judgment
was for $3.50 80 principal and Sl56 interest, ana
$50 attorneys fees. 1t seems that the jury sim
ply calculated the interest at per cent on the
sum borrowed. deducted the payments made.
and brought in q verdict for the difference.
Counsel will move for new trial, and no doubt
the court will grant it,
